It’s that time again. No don’t worry, Christmas hasn’t come early this year, I’m talking inspiration time! In line with the current series of articles you see on Designfeedr at the moment I’ve made a showcase of some of the greatest monochrome and black-and-white commercial illustration out there.

Most of the pieces are not pure black-and-white, a lot of them have splash a tiny bit of color. While they feature some color they’re still perfect for the purpose of our study though and I’m sure they’ll get you’re creative juices flowing whether you’re a hardcore black-and-white buff, color lover or somewhere in between. Enjoy and be inspired! See Full Post

The last creative packaging post was very well received and I’ve been meaning to do a second one for a while now. The difficulties of temporarily having no internet at home and moving twice have kept that idea in the box though…until now. I finally got around to finding some great and inspiring examples on the web.

So enjoy, be inspired and be sure to check out the source sites listed at the bottom of the post. While you do that I’ll decide if I should do a showcase on Vodka bottles – some are just so brilliantly creative. I would love your opinion on that by the way! See Full Post

Using less obvious sources for inspiration can stimulate you to be much more creative and original. Today I’ve collected some great posters from recently released and upcoming movies.

Most of these are in here because I think they’ll inspire with their use of typography, effects or a unique approach. There’s a few on the other hand that are here simply because I’m a huge fan boy for stuff from my youth – new Conan and Red Sonja films? Hell yea! See Full Post

While I always look at (web) design and illustration for inspiration I’ve also often been inspired by totally different things. At first I thought I was just a weird one, but when I was over at fellow blogger Liam’s site I noticed that I’m not the only one with a knack for different inspiration sources.

This pulled me over the edge to do a showcase on digital painting, something I’ve been following for years now. Even if you don’t know the first thing about digital brushwork you can still be greatly inspired by the awesome color choices, composition and sometimes totally unique angles these paintings have.

So forget about your doc types, drop that Wacom pen and simply get inspired by something totally different. Digital painting at it’s best. See Full Post

The first “Awesome photo manipulation inspiration” post was extremely well received. Actually the response was so overwhelming that I figured I’d set up another showcase for you guys. Hope you enjoy, and should there be a stunning photoshop wizard that I might have missed be sure to let me know in the comments so I can include them in the inevitable follow up! See Full Post

Please keep in mind that this post is very NSFW.

A while ago I did an article on sexy character illustrations and asked some illustrators who create that type of art some questions. While doing my research for that article I came across some great artists that just begged to be compiled into a showcase. In this collection of images you’ll find some established names and some up and coming artists, all of them with a unique style. See Full Post
